On my site there is a page dedicated to each grade, feel free to find your class page and add some input on topics we are covering!
We have recently finished our Poetry Unit where we learned how to analyze poems, write compare and contrast paragraphs and essays, as well as, identify and define various poetic devices.
Before that, we completed our Short Stories Unit which focused on plot, setting, theme, irony, and character development. All classes have begun the writing process and they are all well on their way to becoming amazingly strong and inspirational writers!
